601 Battery Error

I have an HP Notebook. Model Number g6-1b79dx. It says there is an internal battery error on startup. Would that be concerning the long black battery that can be taken out of the back? If so, what battery type/model would I need to shop for? Thank you

Coast.
You need to replace the MAIN battery.
I would not buy a China knockoff.
By an HP original.

Like that one.
Cost a little more but 100% compatible.

Israr,
Then error indicates that the primary battery (the one you can remove and replace) has a hardware failure. You should run Battery Check in HP Support Assistant.

Battery Error 601 and Notebook will not boot

My notebook will not bootup anymore. It was running fine then I just closed the screen and went to class. Usually this just puts it to sleep. When I opened it back up, it would not start... It was totally dead. When I plug it into the charger, I see a "Pimrary Battery Error" 601 displayed for a few seconds and then it starts to bootup. It never fully boots-up, it shuts off totally before I get past the little HP splash.
When I plug the charger into the notebook, I see the charging orange LED for a little while, but then it switches to white and then back to orange and then totally off. I have tried multiple chargers and it always does the same thing.
Since the notebook will not boot even when plugged in, I am suspecting something in the charging system/main board more than the battery. Is there anyway to tell which components are bad?
This is an almost 2 year old Envy 4-1215dx, Product ID: D1A99UA#ABA
It's been a great notebook upto now... Any ideas on what to check and how?
Steve

Here's a link with an explaination and troubleshooting steps for the error you are experiencing.
HP Battery Alert
You can also try a Hard Reset in order to get you PC to boot long enough to run a diagnostics.
Hard Reset
You may also try with the battery removed and just the AC Adapter.
If nothing seems to work you can always try a new main battery since they usually are fairly inexpensive. Just Google the Part# shown on your battery.

The 601 error is a problem with the main battery which I suspect is just old. Have you tried removing the battery and starting the laptop with just the power adapter?

I am receiving internal battery error error numerb 601 asking to replace battery.what does ir mean?

Just to be clear, HP Policy is to run the battery check in Windows before replacing the battery. The 601 error alone is not enough unless you have a non-Windows based laptop (usually SUSE Linux or FreeDOS). The battery check should return a failure code that the support agent needs to initiate the replacement.

Hi,
The 601 error relates to your notebooks main battery ( not the cmos cell as the message suggests ) - there are many retailers, including HP, where you can purchase a replacement such as the example on the following link.

This error is a little confusing. At first glance it appears to refer to the CMOS/RTC battery but does infact refer to the main battery for the notebook. Even though the computer states that the battery is at 100% it would be a good idea to begin by verifying that it is in working condition. I think this is a good first step because while it does show 100% charge, you state the notebook does not work unless it is on AC power. This document discusses the issue further.
As stated in the document the HP Battery Check will need to be run in order to determine if the battery is faulty.
To perform the battery check perform the following steps and post the result.
Unplug the power cord and turn off the computer.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Press the Esc key immediately when seeing the HP or the Compaq logo screen.
The Start Up menu appears.
Press F2 to select F2 System Diagnostics .
Select Battery Test from the list of diagnostic tests.
Plug in the power cord.
Click Start Battery Test on the Battery Test page.
If your battery fails this test it will need to be replaced. To get a replacement battery you will need to contact HP Technical Support. If you are in the US/Canada you can call them at 1-800-474-6836. If you are located outside of this region you will need to go to HP's support site and after selecting your country/region locate "Customer Support" in the bottom right corner to get the contact information for your region.
I hope this helps!

The 601 internal battery error is misleading.
It is not the BIOS/RTC battery.
It is your main battery.

Solution - Battery error is detected. Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace

I own a T61 7658 I bough on 2008, it worked great with the default power settings until October 22nd I decided to change my power profile to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.
Next day I received on Message Center...
10/23/2010 - Battery health is critical. With the current system settings and a full charge, your battery can provide approximately 3.0 hours of use. A new battery could provide up to an estimated 5.5 hours.
I kept using the Laptop with the Max performance until...
11/12/2010 - Battery error is detected. Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace the battery with a new one.
I have used IBM/Lenovo for years and even had used batteries for 5 years without a single issue.
I have read many posts of people having the same problem not only with T61s, but many other Lenovo models, and also read posts of Lenovo's administrators suggesting this is normal and justifying that batteries should be good for at least 12 months and after that we are on own, basically meaning we should be thankful in name of our own safety that we had that battery protection and we must replace it at our own cost and forget about it. That is a very easy way out, isn’t it.
But certainly, not only batteries with more than 12 months are failing, even new batteries are and have been replaced with multiple exchange programs posted by Lenovo in their website just as in http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/batt/082009/LandingPage.html. and also in multiple MIGR battery replacement campaigns available to all online as well.
Good thing here is that Lenovo has recognized the problem and has exchange the batteries still under warranty and also few of the batteries without warranty limiting to some serial numbers on the MIGR battery replacement campaigns, but the bad side is that Lenovo is leaving behind other clients like me and many others not being selected for replacement. But I’m sure we all have a good battery but turned useless due to the Lenovo programmed safety temperature limits in the power manager and the battery board. Please let me explain.
This is my conclusion. There is nothing wrong with used or new batteries or their cells in 99% of the cases, I'm sure my battery is okay although is being turned useless by the battery protection feature on my T61.
Lenovo must recognize the problem is the settings they have programmed on the power manager and battery protection board. It is very understandable that when users select a Power Scheme that demands higher amounts of power to generate better performance on the system this also demand additional power generating heat on battery and on the power supply as the computer is running at full performance, just as happens on my ipod when watching video, or in my kid’s R/C truck when running continuously and will happen with any other battery powered device.
Therefore any scheme requiring performance is generating heat and is tripping the battery protection and this is not a client’s fault, as are we just using an available scheme provided on our Lenovo system. If the battery protection is not calibrated to support this power demand, then there is a poor design/testing of the capabilities of the system and the battery protection parameters that instruct the battery to save itself from a fire or burning … which is understandable.
The bad side is that there is not possible reset option for the end users, the only option is to buy a new battery at our own cost after the 12 months of warranty, when the cause of the problem is originated in the computer system design settings and can happen at any time, that is way, the system warned me, as in:
10/23/2010 - Battery health is critical. With the current system settings and a full charge, your battery can provide approximately 3.0 hours of use. A new battery could provide up to an estimated 5.5 hours.
The computer is saying! At maximum performance, You are using too much power, and my battery will last just 3 hrs (9 cells on my system) instead of the 5.5 hrs that should last. But not only the running time was reduced, the heat on the power supply system and Battery was also increased due to the higher power demand, the battery can not handle the demand and protect itself to prevent fire or damage.
So who has to pay for this? Can Lenovo do something about it? For us client and for future clients? This not a matter of having or not having warranty, this can happen at any time in any computer.
I'm writing this hoping to be heard and supported and I hope LENOVO provides a satisfactory solution to the issue. I'm not going to say will never buy Lenovo again I already did, I invested my money on Lenovo and with warranty or not I'm looking forward to get a decent response.
Lenovo must change the parameters for tripping battery protection probably handled at BIOS level, and to provide a reset feature to all "locked" batteries there is many people that has lost at least one battery, some other more than that.  Since even if we get a replacement, the chances  the issue will continue is there, as long as I select a high power demand scheme the problem sooner or later will be back.   Even car makers support their clients beyond the warranty if they detect that the issue compromises safety and their reputation.  Fix it.
M.Padron.

amtho, welcome to the forum,
start by looking at this site and also look at this site which is actually linked to from the first one.
Hope this helps

Service Battery error message for a battery that looks ok

Hello,
I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro with model number 5,5 and after upgrading my hard drive to a WD scorpio black 750GB and also adding 8 GB of Kingston memory I get a Service Battery error message. My OS is 10.6.8. The strange is that my battery is in a fairly good condition. I did check with coconut battery and it looks ok. I also add a print screen.
Does anyone knows how can I remove this error message ?
Do I have to replace my battery ?

Service battery means replace battery as soon as possible.
Reset SMC and see whether it changes the notification.
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Even though you're out of your warranty period (unless you purchased AppleCare) I would take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them test the battery. 418 cycle counts is very high for a computer just 14 months old - you may have been letting the battery completely drain before plugging back up to mains or simply not following Apple's 'advice' on how to get the most mileage out of your battery.
Apple considers the battery to be a user consumable item - and if you've not treated your battery well, it may be reaching the point of half-way consumption, at least. The very worst that could happen is that Apple could recommend replacing your battery: and the cost isn't that great.

Service battery error after upgrading to Mavericks

Immediately after upgrading to Mavericks my Mid 2009 MacBook Pro that was purchased in September of 2013 received a service battery error. The laptop will continue to charge while plugged in, but loses battery power at an alarming rate when unplugged. Has Apple addressed this problem yet, and when can we expect a solution or repair for this?

Satellite A200-X01 - Battery Error on Windows 7

Hello, I woke my computer from sleep mode and found a popup stating I had a battery error.
I was wondering if this is a common thing or if its a Windows 7 error?

Hi DocWinters,
What happens if you restart the notebook? Does the error still occur?
I doubt its a common issue. In my opinion it sounds like that the battery needs replacing because its consumables and can only be charged/recharged 500 times I think.
You can get a new battery from an authorized service provider! :)

Thinkpad X201 critical low battery error 0190

I just bought a new battery recently because the one I had was completely dead, but now every time I try rebooting I get "0190 critical low battery error".
I've already updated the BIOS and I'm seeing no other results on Google to try to fix this. The only way I can boot up my laptop without getting that error is if I have the charger plugged in, but if it's not then I'll keep getting that error over and over.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Moderator comment: Please refrain from bumping your thread(s) / post(s) more frequently than 3 days. Doing so, unfairly, pushes other members' threads downwards. Bumping post(s) removed.

Maybe it's a faulty battery. There are numerous reports about non-genuine Lenovo batteries being built with substandard or even dangerous components. Personally, I never use anything but genuine batteries in any of my ThinkPads. They are more expensive, but I've never been disappointed.
Do you have access to another known-good battery to test? Maybe a friend or colleague?
